Team Cherry Reveals Second Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch with Fixes and Clarity

The lantern-lit halls of Pharloom saw a fresh wave of pilgrims in the weeks after Hornet’s solo journey began. Hollow Knight: Silksong has already gathered more than five million players across every platform, with half a million of them arriving on Steam within hours of release. That enormous player base meant every hidden bug was quickly dragged into the light. Team Cherry has responded with a second post-launch patch. Version 1.0.28626 is now live in the public beta, and the studio says it is getting close to finalising the update for a full rollout.

The first patch had lowered the difficulty of two early bosses. This time the developers did not include any direct difficulty adjustments. They focused instead on fairness. A player might have lost a battle because a Savage Beastfly stayed beneath the lava in Far Fields, or because Shrine Guardian Seth slipped out of bounds mid-fight. Such moments felt less like a challenge and more like a betrayal. The new patch fixes those exact problems, along with several other combat quirks.

⚔️ Combat and Boss Fixes

The patch notes read like a detailed map of small frustrations. Lugoli will no longer fly off screen and refuse to return during battle. Silk Snippers have a lower chance of getting stuck out of bounds in the Chapel of the Reaper fight. Some deaths caused by killing a boss at the same moment as being killed led to messy or out-of-sync death sequences, and those have been tidied up.
